The Art Instiute of Las Vegas Review: Bad Work = Good Grades

Here is a screen capture of my report card for my last 2.5 years at The Art Institute of Las Vegas:

(Maybe I might be doing alright in school? Maybe good enough to graduate?)

 

It says my GPA is 4.0.  How can this be if I have a B+ and three A-'s?  That clearly isn't a 4.0.

 

What is surprising here is that I am more than likely going to fail a class I am in currently.  This is because pretty much ALL of my video projects I have shot aren't good enough for graduation.  I have received 85% or better on nearly all of my projects.

 

Why am I getting such good grades only to find out that I have to pretty much redo or create all new projects in my last quarter?

 

If you notice, one class I am in this quarter is Advanced Camera and Lighting.  This is a class I should have taken at least a year ago, but I don't know how much it would have mattered because a different teacher would have been teaching it and it would have been an entirely different lesson plan.

The previous class, Intermediate Camera, apparently didn't teach me the things I needed to know to prepare for Advanced Camera and Lighting.  If I would have taken Advanced Camera and Lighting way earlier, perhaps some of my projects would have come out graduation-worthy.

 

This is the standard for this school.
